What is a TCA Cross Treatment?
TCA CROSS (Chemical Reconstruction of Skin Scars) is a specialised treatment designed for deep acne scars, especially ice-pick scars that are resistant to laser treatments. This method involves carefully applying trichloroacetic acid (TCA) directly into the scar using a toothpick. The process stimulates collagen production, helping to lift indented scars and restore smoother skin.
This treatment is suitable for all skin types and is tailored based on the depth and severity of the scars, ensuring a customised approach for each patient.
How Does TCA Cross Treatment Work?
TCA Cross works by targeting individual scars rather than treating the entire face. The application of TCA promotes the reorganisation of the dermal structure and triggers natural collagen regeneration, effectively improving the appearance of scars.
Patients typically require 2-3 sessions for optimal results, with minimal recovery time compared to laser treatments. While the treatment is effective for all skin types, darker skin tones may experience temporary darkening that resolves over time.
Post-Treatment Aftercare
Use SPF 50+ daily for a month; avoid tanning for two weeks before and two months after.
Apply a gentle ointment like Cetaphil or Vaseline regularly.
Let scabs heal naturally to prevent scarring.
Wash your face with mild soap twice daily.
Skip hot tubs, saunas, or hot showers for three days.
Avoid waxing or electrolysis for two weeks.
Return to your routine once your skin heals.
